dan, good to have you back with us tonight. how satisfied is your organization with what unfolded today? is this what you wanted? >> it's exactly what we wanted. we couldn't be more satisfied as a first step. but what the parents are newtown are saying is exactly right. as the president said himself, if we're going to be able to create change, it's going to require the support of the american public. now the white house has done right by us in terms of putting together a comprehensive set of solutions not only to prevent tragedies like newtown. now it's up to us to have their back to push these through, to change the conversation in congress, to bring the conversation that's going on in the american public to congress to have these solutions come to fruition. >> and the nra is not backing down. their ad campaign is certainly very telling. is this going to play all the way into 2014? and do you think firearms will be a bigger issue in the wake of sandy hook in 2014? >> i'm hopeful we're going to be able to get this done more qui
